Chapter 126 The Hero's Remains Obtained!

Without any mishap, Ymiris was easily and forcefully controlled by Louis's slave mind lock.

Louis could see the panic in the other person's eyes, but at this moment, he was no longer in control of his own body or facial expressions.

After taking control of Ymir, the owner of the tent, Louis could naturally stay here peacefully for a day.

However, just to be on the safe side, he decided to search through Ymir's memories to see what this shadow demon usually did and what her interpersonal relationships were like, so as not to give herself away.

Louis stepped out of the shadows and, under Ymir's horrified gaze, placed his hand on her head.

Parasitism, activate!

The parasitic demon's abilities are actually mostly used on living people, allowing it to access the target's memories without harming them.

Louis checked and found that Ymirs and his colleagues barely interacted.

The demons in the demon tide were all summoned from all over the demon realm and did not know each other.

Moreover, Youmis is a demon who loves reading and learning, and whenever she has free time, she immerses herself in the ocean of knowledge.

This suited Louis perfectly. With a thought, Ymirs obediently sat down at the desk, picked up a book, and pretended to read it.

Louis then remained hidden in the shadows inside the tent, quietly waiting for time to pass.

Meanwhile, for Youmis, sitting at her desk, every second was torture.

"Who is this man who suddenly barged into my tent? Why is he targeting me?!"

Yomis wailed incessantly in her heart.

"It's bad enough that you've got me stuck at this desk, but at least let me turn the page! I'm sick of looking at this one page!"

While feeling resentful about her own situation, Ymirs was also making wild guesses about Louis's identity.

"My base stats are a whopping 40, yet this man can easily control me with his slave mind lock. Could he be a powerful demon with extremely high base stats?"

The more Ymir thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

If their base stats weren't that different, how could he have knelt down so easily?

As for why the other party was wearing human equipment and had a human face?

Isn't this normal?

The higher the base stats of a demon, the more it resembles a human.

The legendary royal family was no different from humans except for having a pair of horns.

With just a pair of horns, the Great Demon could easily use illusion magic to conceal himself and make himself look exactly like a real person.

Youmis judged that she had encountered a powerful demon with an eccentric temperament and a high status.

if not?

It can't be that a human hero transformed into a demon and infiltrated to control him, can it?

"Sigh, which young master from a great demon clan has come to the real world to gain prestige?"

Ymir sighed in distress: "If you really intend to do something, why control me? I would do whatever you say."

After deducing the identity of the "Great Demon" who controlled her, Youmis's fear subsided slightly.

Although the powerful figure's intentions are unpredictable, as long as I obediently cooperate and wait for this young master to finish what he wants, I should be fine, right?

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

Louis thought for a moment and told Ymir, who had been sitting for most of the day, to stand up and ask his level 2 demon superior for leave.

Otherwise, if Youmis goes on an expedition at night, she is likely to escape your control.

Once Ymirs left the tent, Louis immediately switched to Ymirs's perspective.

The ability to share a perspective has nothing to do with the "slave mind lock" itself, but comes from the parasitic talent of the parasitic demon.

After parasitizing Ymir to a certain extent, Louis can control him through double insurance, and operations such as sharing vision are also within his grasp.

Louis found his superior and had Ymir ask for leave, citing the crucial moment in her study of magical texts.

His boss, without suspecting anything, immediately approved the leave.

Anyway, Ymir's abilities aren't very useful on the battlefield.

He couldn't control the demonic tide, nor had he learned the Slave Mind Lock; he was only skilled in assassination.

But Blackrock City hasn't been breached yet, so Yumis, mixed in with the monsters, has no use for anything, so taking a day off is no problem.

Everything is ready; we're just waiting for nightfall.

As Louis waited patiently, night finally fell.

As he expected, most of the demons in the camp came out, and the three witch demons controlling Molly's body also went to the open space in the camp and did their best to control Molly's body to launch an attack.

The screams of monsters echoed in the distance, signaling the start of a new siege.

Through Ymir's vision, Louis saw the hero Molly soar into the sky, achieving a near-flying effect through a leap, and speeding towards Blackrock City.

On the other hand, the three witches controlling Molly the hero were struggling to swing their staffs, looking quite strained.

Clearly, it was too difficult for them to control Molly the Hero at their level.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Molly's body only fought for a short while each night before withdrawing.

This is good news for Louis.

He eagerly anticipated Molly's return and the exhaustion of the three witches.

If these three old men are too exhausted to move, then he wouldn't mind taking their lives as a matter of course.

If you can kill three level 2 lich monsters and loot their corpses, it will be a huge reward.

Louis was like a patient hunter, quietly waiting for his prey to get closer and closer to the trap.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, Heroine Molly has returned.

Her breastplate still radiated an astonishing heat, the dark metal glowing red as it slowly cooled—a remnant of the light cannon's release.

The three lich demons' already withered bodies became even more hunched, and their thin legs trembled incessantly.

However, they mustered their last bit of strength and managed to guide Molly into the large tent before collapsing to the ground, exhausted.

"Are you really exhausted?"

Louis was somewhat surprised.

He decided to give it a try.

He immediately took control of Ymir's actions, ordering him to help the three witches into the tent.

Youmis approached the witches, and the three elders did not refuse the junior's kindness. They placed their hands on Youmis and entered their tent.

Louis himself also began to take action.

He activated Shadow Domination and Shadow Sword simultaneously, maximizing his stealth abilities, and quickly rushed into the large tent.

Inside the tent was an intricately patterned, yet bloody and sinister, energy-charging array.

In the center of the magic circle stood a stone coffin, inside which the hero Molly had just lay down.

Louis went up to look and saw the black-haired woman wearing a mask lying flat in the coffin with her hands folded over, and the black and red sword beside her.

At this point, Louis's heart began to race.

However, he did not rush to touch the corpse, nor did he wait for the Hero's Codex to be automatically extracted from Molly's body.

His most pressing task now is to take away the hero's corpse before any of the demons can react.

Everything else can wait until it's safe to discuss.

Louis reached out and took the black and red sword in his hand.

He then placed his hand on Molly's black armor, attempting to put it into his magic pocket.

However, they were unable to collect it.

It seems that it was because Molly's remains were of a very high level, while the magic pocket was of a very low level, and forcibly containing them would easily cause the internal space to burst.

Fortunately, this was also within Louis's considerations.

It wouldn't be a problem to simply carry Molly's body away.

He hoisted the body onto his shoulder—back down, the front still too hot to cool down.
